Seeing that Xiao Yao wanted to explain, Empress Dowager Zhong raised her hand lightly and motioned for him to get up.

Then, Empress Dowager Zhong changed her words: "It's just that Mingzhu, this girl, is the heart of the mourning family, and the mourning family only hopes that she can marry a wishful husband and raise her eyebrows." will never bury her life for rumors or interests. Her marriage, she doesn't nod, even the emperor can't be the master, let alone you! ”

Xiao Yao was silent, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or regretful.

"Okay, if you really have a heart, the mourning family has something to ask you, I hope you can keep your promise this time."

Empress Dowager Zhong's words shocked Xiao Yao's spirit, and he hurriedly said: "Let the Empress Dowager send you." ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the fifth prince and Gu Shinian, who have admired the scenery of the north for a long time, want to go to Liaodong with you. With you, the head of the snake, to protect you, the mourning family is so relieved. Also, Zibin also has to go with him to protect the two of them. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong said lightly, but after all, she was the prince, and she was still the fifth prince, so Xiao Yao had to think about it more.

"Queen Mother, Shi Nian, Brother Zhong want to go to Liaodong, Xiao Yao is overjoyed. It's just that Weichen is not familiar with the five princes, and the road is far away, if the hospitality is not good, Weichen really can't afford it. ”

Xiao Yao's refusal, Empress Dowager Zhong was noncommittal, but said lightly: "Originally, Xiao Wu also paid a private visit to the micro-service to observe the people's feelings. Xiao Yao, are you waiting for the emperor to give an order? ”

This sentence woke up the person in the dream, Xiao Yao quickly understood that Yan Shaoxun was afraid that it was the emperor's intention to go to Liaodong, how could Empress Dowager Zhong arrange the prince's itinerary at will?

"Wechen doesn't dare, it's just the body of the five princes' daughters, Wechen is sincerely afraid, afraid of being entrusted by the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Zhong stared at Xiao Yao with a smile and said, "Oh, then just change to Xiao Liu or Xiao Jiu, isn't that why Xiao Zhuangyuan won't feel so troublesome?" ”

Xiao Yao's scalp tightened, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "It is a great honor for Xiao Yao to be able to walk with the Fifth Prince and Brother Zhong for many years." ”

"That's good, you don't have to prepare, and don't leak the news, just wait at the Shili Pavilion outside the city on the day of your trip."

Xiao Yao naturally didn't dare to say more, and before leaving, he still asked: "Queen Mother, I don't know the news of the five princes' trip, can Weichen tell the six princes." ”

"It's okay, stand down."

Xiao Yao retired and left, turned around and returned to Yinghua Palace.

Yan Rongling knew that he would return with a feather, so he prepared some side dishes and drinks in the apse, and was waiting for him to come back and drink two cups.

"Xiao Yao, come on. This is Huiquan wine paid tribute from the southwest, come and try it. ”

Xiao Yao was not polite, sat down with a smile, poured himself a drink, and sighed: "The fragrance is far away, the taste is mellow, and it is worthy of being a tribute wine." ”

"How? As I said earlier, the imperial grandmother and Mingzhu are not pedantic people, and they will not make a hasty decision on Mingzhu's life because of the gossip of someone with a heart. ”

Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao drank a cup and said with a smile.

Xiao Yao drank this wine and hesitated for a long time, then said: "Rong Ling, I will go back to Liaodong this time, and the five princes, Brother Zhong, and Gu Shinian will go together." ”

Yan Rongling's expression changed: "Is this true? ”

"This is what the Queen Mother said herself, it shouldn't be a joke. It's just that Brother Zhong went to protect the five princes, but why did Shi Nian have to go, could it be that the emperor was dissatisfied with my father? ”

It's about the family, Xiao Yao has to think about it.

Yan Rongling was thinking about it, but this was not the case, he just felt that if Gu Shinian went with him, could this be what Empress Dowager Zhong meant?

If the father wants to visit Liaodong privately, just Yan Shaoxun can go, and at most send Zhong Zibin to escort him, why should Gu Shinian also go? Could it be that Empress Dowager Zhong meant that it was for the pearl?

This made Yan Rongling very uneasy, and asked: "Xiao Yao, you went to ask for a kiss, what did the imperial grandmother say?" ”

Xiao Yao organized his language and replied, "I said that I ruined the name festival of the Lord of Mingzhu County, and I am willing to be responsible." But the Queen Mother said, if it was not me who saved the county lord at that time, but a guard, would she also marry the county lord? ”

This is really the style of the imperial grandmother, Yan Rongling put his mind at ease.

It seems that the imperial grandmother did not have the idea of marrying Mingzhu, so Gu Shinian went to Liaodong, it was not the imperial grandmother who wanted to touch Xiao Yao's bottom.

"Xiao Yao, don't worry, Marquis Weiyuan is loyal, my father just wants the fifth brother to travel, there should be no other meaning."

Xiao Yao was relieved and said with a smile: "My father has been guarding Shanhaiguan for many years, and my eldest brother and several brothers are also stationed in the military camp all year round. ”

Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao pushed the cup and changed the glass, and the wine was drunk until night.

At this time, Yan Shaoxun came to the imperial study in a nervous mood, and he didn't know why Emperor Hong Zheng called him.

"Erchen has seen his father."

"Little Wu, you're here, sit down."

"Thank you, Father."

Seeing that Emperor Hong Zheng was still reading the folds with candles, Yan Shaoxun said distressedly: "Father, I hurt my eyes at night, so let's review it tomorrow?" ”

Yan Shaoxun's concern, Emperor Hong Zheng was very useful.

Yan Qihuo would rather give up his favorite young lady than think about the throne, which made Emperor Hong Zheng very sad. Now that he looks at Yan Shaoxun again, Fang feels that he has been living in the people since he was a child, and he should really make up for it.

"Little Wu, I have an errand that I want to hand over to you."

When Yan Shaoxun heard this, he got up and solemnly arched his hand and said: "Erchen is sent by his father, and he will never give up!" ”

"Sit down, nothing is dead, and there is no one to put a door on your mouth."

Yan Shaoxun looked at Emperor Hong Zheng's and pleasant face, and hurriedly beat the snake and said with a stick: "Father, the sons are just excited, and they can finally share their worries for their fathers, and the sons are happy!" ”

Emperor Hong Zheng was even more happy when he saw this, and then thought of Yan Shaoxun's hard work since he returned to the palace.

Not only has the word made great progress, but even the martial arts have not fallen, and he is even more proud of him.

"Little Five, you're fine. I love the congratulatory message you made this year. Although you are not good at the Four Books and Five Classics, the spirituality of poetry and songs is the most gifted of all my sons. ”

Yan Shaoxun made a shy look and twisted: "Father, don't praise the sons, compared with the sixth brother, there are still many sons and daughters." ”

"You don't have to be modest, I want you to pack up your things, and go to Liaodong with Xiao Yao with Gu Erlang and Mingzhu, as well as the Zhong brothers and sisters."

After Emperor Hong Zheng finished speaking, Yan Shaoxun was stunned for a moment.

Reflexively said: "What does Father mean that Marquis Weiyuan has two hearts?" ”

Yan Shaoxun's reaction made Emperor Hong Zheng very pleased, at least Yan Shaoxun was alert and would not feel that he was going to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

smiled: "Xiao Wu, you think too much, I don't have this intention, I just let you take a private visit to Weifu, and by the way, I will observe the people's feelings." ”

Yan Shaoxun keenly discovered that there was also Gu Fanghua with him.

Said tentatively: "Father, why does Cousin Mingzhu also have to go along?" It's a long way to go, the snow covers the mountains, at least next year, the spring flowers will bloom before you can come back, is the imperial grandmother willing to do it? ”
